Countdown to Caro Emerald: Live in Los Angeles (Free REMIX)

Keith is a music correspondent for POPDOSE and an advocate on women's empowerment, gender identity and gender liberation issues. His Popdose beats include new releases (reviews, interviews), The Completist (box sets and reissues) and Gender Nation X (coloring outside gender's rigid lines). He's marketing writer by day for Sudden Monkey.

POPDOSE favorite, Caro Emerald, has landed in America and as we speak is putting the finishing touches on her US Live debut. She will hit the stage at the El Rey in Los Angeles on Tuesday night (1/21/13) before jetting to New York on Thursday.

During our interview last year, Ms. Emerald gave POPDOSE a preview of the upcoming showcase. Caro will be backed by an eight piece band and DJ to bring her chart topping mix of big band, swing, jazz and modern disco to life in the El Rey’s timeless ballroom.

For those lucky enough to be in Los Angeles, a few tickets remain available for the concert. For the rest of us, here is a track to tide you over, taken from Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor: The Remixes:

Caro posted a picture (left) via her facebook page of the band in rehearsal. For everyone addicted to Mad Men, this show will be like stepping into the swinging sixties — or 1940’s, Roaring 20’s or a club on the Sunset Strip depending on the song. Don’t be shocked to see Don Draper sipping a martini back at the bar — or since the occasion is festive, a Negroni.

Tickets to see Caro Emerald in Los Angeles and New York are available here.
